The Adler Athletic Complex is the center of student activities at Penn State Altoona. The Department of Recreation hires approximately 75 students per semester to help with aquatic, recreational, intramural, and varsity sports programming.
The Department of Recreation accepts employment applications from any Penn State Altoona Student for the employee positions. However, due to budgetary constraints, work-study students are given first consideration for open positions within the department. Hiring decisions are made one semester in advance if possible. Unexpected openings are filled as they arise. Hiring decisions are made by the Recreational Sports Administration and Varsity Athletic Administration.
